3x2 + 6x - 24
First factor out any common factors of the three terms. In this case, each term is a multiple of 3. So,
3x2 + 6x - 24 = 3(x2 + 2x - 8)
Next, use the reverse FOIL method to factor the polynomial in the parenthesis (x2 + 2x - 8). x2 factors out to x * x:
(x + ??)(x + ??)
Now, we must find two numbers that add to get 2 (from the 2x) and multiply to get -8. Those numbers are -2 and 4. So,
(x2 + 2x - 8) = (x - 2)(x + 4)
So,
3x2 + 6x - 24 = 3(x - 2)(x + 4)

What is 3x squared plus 5x plus 2?
3x2 + 5x + 2 is a quadratic expression that can be factored as follows: 3x2 + 5x + 2 = 3x2 + 3x + 2x + 2 = 3x(x + 1) + 2(x + 1) = (3x + 2)(x + 1)
Which is the complete factorization of the trinomial 3x2 10x - 8?
Do you mean 3x2+10x-8 if so then it is (3x-2(x+4) when factored
Can you solve 3x2-x equals -1?
Set the equation equal to zero. 3x2 - x = -1 3x2 - x + 1 = 0 The equation is quadratic, but can not be factored. Use the quadratic equation.
What is 2x plus 3x to the second power plus 6 plus 5x to the third power in standard form?
